The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Indiana Academic Standards for Writing
Indiana Academic Standards require students
to become proficient in multiple text types
– Handwriting
– Persuasive
– Informative
– Narrative
– The Research Process
6. Handwriting
• Linked to better letter perception, reading fluency, and writing
fluency (Berninger, 2012; Graham, Harris, & Fink, 2000)
• Trains the orthographic loop, which supports spelling and
composing.
• Trains serial organization
• Automaticity – quickly, accurately, effortlessly Reduces cognitive
load needed for composition
7. Why Handwriting Instruction?
1. Learning to form letters by hand improves perception of letters
and contributes to better reading and spelling.
2. Automatic letter writing promotes better composing—both
amount written and quality of writing. (Berninger, 2012)
What about Keyboarding?
8. Spelling
Spelling instruction:
– in the early grades is linked to better composition in the later
grades. (Berninger & Fayol, 2008)
– is linked to greater phonological awareness and reading
proficiency (Graham & Santangelo, 2011)
9. Oral Language Skills
• Vocabulary – Writers must be able to spontaneously recall words
and have a clear understanding of word meaning and usage.
(Corona, Spangenberger, & Venet, 1998)
• Sentence construction – practice in combining simple, short
sentences into complex sentences improves writing quality
(Saddler & Graham, 2005)
10. Writing Process
Explicit instruction in the writing process – plan, draft,
revise, edit, and publish – is supported by multiple
studies. (Graham & Perin, 2007)
11. Writing Instruction
• Strategy instruction is effective in increasing overall quality of
students’ writing (Graham, 2006) and has long-term impact (Fidalgo,
Torrance, & Garcia, 2008)
• Instruction should include:
– task-specific strategies (i.e., using graphic organizers) and
– metacognitive strategies (i.e., using a rubric to evaluation your draft)
12. Writing Instruction Recommendations
• Provide ample time for writing
• Use frequent assessment to inform instruction
• Explicitly teach writing skills, process and strategies
• Teach multiple text types
• Write across the curriculum
• Integrate appropriate technology
• Establish a positive environment for writing
(Graham, 2013)
13. Writing Mini-Lesson
1. Give the lesson a catchy name.
2. Keep it brief.
3. Focus on 1 key learning concept.
4. Let the student know up front
what they will be learning.
5. Start by connecting the lesson
with what they already know or
are already doing.
6. Be explicit and direct.
7. Expect students to be accountable
for their learning.
8. Plan mini-lessons based on what
your students need to know.
9. Once is never enough!

15. Text Structure to Improve Reading Comprehension
Understanding text structure
• Narrative - Tells a story, often about personal events or other life
experiences; may be fiction or nonfiction
• Informational -Convey facts, describe procedures, explain
something, share basic information, relate cause-effect,
compare/contrast, problem-solution structures
16. Text Structure Strategy:
– I like...
– I wonder ...
– I think ...
– I learned ...
– This reminds me of ...
– I am surprised ...
– I want to know ...
